Show Off Your Band Collection

[Knowlege Bomb]

I’m hitting the brakes on buying bands now that my leather link finally showed up. Here’s my current lineup:

Next step will be finding a better way to store/display them.

What’s your lineup looking like these days?

This is a slightly outdated pic as I have added a few. Highlights include bands from Hermès, the braided loop in Inverness Green, and a few 3rd party bands that are currently being replaced with OEM. Watch is a SS S6 with a black leather loop on board.

Everything on the left side of the case is OEM. A few on the right are.

You sure love your sport loops, eh?

How long have you been collecting?

I do. They are the most comfortable and the ones I wear the most. My new additions are the Gen 1 Black sports loop, Cypress Green Solo Loop, Gen 1 Black Leather Classic Buckle, Anchor Gray Sports Loop, and Cape Cod Blue Sports Loop.

Only since the Summer. I had a few but most acquisitions have been fairly recent.

My very modest collection. Not pictured are a black sport band and Anchor Gray sport loop.

My favorites: Braided Solo & Link
Dislike: Milanese, solo loop (returned)
A Strong eh: Sport Loop

I got two sizes in the braided, one for active work and the other for sleep

I thought this thread would be way more active, given some of the collection sizes on the forum... 🤔

Same same. I was hoping to see a lot more third party stuff.

I have 112. A few do not have original boxes so I made my own labels and recycled extra boxes.

Not included are the 2 generic Disney bands in vacation pouch.

Very comprehensive collection!

Out of curiosity, which buckle shape on the wrist do you prefer of the Gen 1-4 classic buckles? (I know 1-3 are the same, so I guess it’s more between 3 & 4’s shape really)

I don’t have a big collection but I’m happy with the ones I have. I’d like to get a nice dark green one, and I don’t know that I’m going to keep the deep navy.

Nice, but damn, that is a lot of money.


Where did you get the case?

I prefer the smaller buckle but, I like the colors of the larger buckles better.

I have added a lot since I took that photo (and sold some too). Additions include the Hyper Grape and Crimson/Neptune Green sport loops and a few other leather loops as well.

Are these all Apple brand, or are some third-party?

All Apple brand. No 3rd party bands

I only just saw this - I've been in the habit of only looking at watched threads for a while now. This is a few months ago, so it's missing a few bands.
